All Grown Up!

My little sister graduated!! I can't believe she is done with high school and headed off to college. It seems like just yesterday that I was a senior and she was a little freshman. She is headed to BYU Provo in just four weeks. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I am really going to miss her, but I am so proud of her and the person that she is. She is gorgeous inside and out. I love you Mariah!!

Time to Catch Up...

I have been really bad about blogging the past little while, so rather than take forever and blog about each event, I'm just going to post pictures and quickly catch up on the past several months.

 

AUGUST 2012

Brogan and his brothers climbed the Grand Teton. It was their Christmas present from Mark and Verla to be able to do this with their dad. Brogan enjoyed every minute, while I was at home praying he would come back in one piece!

Nothing very exciting happened in September, so we will skip to

 

OCTOBER 2012

Brogan had one of his friends from his mission move to the U.S., so he stopped in Utah for a little visit. Brogan was so excited to get to hang out with him. I was able to attend Time out for Women with my mother in law, sister in law, and Jan Moss. I wasn't able to stay for the whole thing, but I hope to go again someday. We also took a little trip to La Sal. It is a super tiny town (smaller than Declo) in Southern Utah. We went with Travis and Blair to visit his family. The entertainment there was shooting prairie dogs. Pretty sure we shot at those things for at least three hours every day we were there. I even got one!

 

 

 

November 2012

Brogan celebrated his 24th birthday! My brother became a state football champ! It was a pretty good month until Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving my Grandpa Duncan passed away. It was a rough time for my family because it was totally unexpected. We still miss and love you Grandpa!!

 

 

December 2012

Brogan's team won the championship game in their 3 on 3 intermurals. Brogan graduated, and we moved home to Declo for good. We lived with my Grandma Duncan for awhile and were able to celebrate Christmas morning with her. It was a good experience to live with my grandma for a time. I was able to gain more of a relationship with her than I have ever had. We had a great Christmas, and we were definitely spoiled!

 

 

January 2013 - March 2013

We brought in the New Year with some of our best friends in Rexburg and had a great time! We were also able to attend a couple of Jazz games!

 

April 2013 - May 2013

We went to Supercross in Salt Lake and had a blast! There were lots of good wrecks this year! We also went back to Logan to graduate! I finished my student teaching, so Brogan and I are now both officially college graduates! We are loving being done with school and back in Declo. Brog is now enjoying work on the farm, and I am currently applying and hoping to get a teaching position for the fall. We are excited to see what the rest of the year will bring!

Blue Angels

Brogan and I had been needing to get away and spend a little time just the two of us, so when we saw advertisements for the Magic Valley Air Show, we decided to go check it out. We were kinda naughty and went on a Sunday because with grain harvest going it was really the only time we could go. The show was a little long, and it was really hot, but it was still fun. We enjoyed watching the different planes and the different things each could do. The best part was the Blue Angels. The different maneuvers they did were awesome. At one point in the show, they had one come from behind, and it was amazing how you couldn't hear it until it was already right there over you. It kinda scared everyone, and as everyone was distracted and laughing from the first jet, they did it again! Brogan and I both decided we wouldn't want to be attacked by one of those things because once you realize they are even there it is too late! It was a fun show to see, and it was nice to get away for a day!

Wrigley Reunion

This year the Wrigley reunion was in Bear Lake. Brogan and I headed up Friday afternoon once I got off work. I had my praxis test on Saturday, which is extremely important. I had to pass it in order to student teach, so once we got up there I just studied until dinner time. Dinner was really good and soon after Larry and Melanie's family talked about their trip to Ecuador. It was really fun to listen to them. We weren't able to stay through the whole thing because I had to get back to Logan, so I could be ready for my test the next morning. We stayed the night in our apartment, and I got up early to be to my test at 7:30. I still won't know my score for a little while, which makes me nervous, but I think it went alright. As soon as I was done, Brogan picked me up and we headed right back to Bear Lake to spend the day boating, jet skiing, and swimming. Bear Lake is way nice, and it was a lot of fun! We got back in time to play a game of miniature golf with Keegen and Garrett before the rain hit. After the rain was gone, and we had eaten dinner,  we had the Wrigley Redneck Olympics. The games were way fun and creative, and we really had a good time!! I'm pretty sure Brogan's team got last place, and mine got second to last, but we had a blast anyway. We always look forward to the Wrigley reunion!

Time for a Haircut...

Anyone that knows Brogan knows that he has extremely thick hair, and it grows really really fast! I swear he needs a haircut every other week. When we are down in Logan, he has Aspen cut it. The problem is when we are here in Declo, she isn't around often enough to cut it for him. Brogan refuses to pay anyone to cut his hair, which leaves me to do it. I have never cut anyone's hair before so he was a little nervous allowing me to do it, and I don't blame him I would be to! Verla helped me out a little by getting me started and kinda guiding me through the process, but for the most part it was just me doin the best I could.

I think for the most part it turned out ok! He has a little calic in the front, which makes it hard to get it straight, so I'll keep working on that, but I was pretty proud of myself for the first time ever cutting hair! 

One Year Anniversary

It is a little crazy to think Brogan and I have already been married for a year! It does not seem like that much time has gone by. To celebrate, we went to Hagerman to sit in the hot pots and get a massage. Our massages turned out to be more like a beat down, and we were almost more sore after them. Then it turned out to be a pretty hot day, so our hot tub nearly burned our skin (we didn't end up staying in there for long!) So Hagerman didn't go quite as we had expected, but it was still fun to spend that time together, and it gave us something to laugh about. We drove to Boise to stay the night and ordered in Domino's pizza because it has kinda become our tradition to order it whenever we go stay somewhere, and it was delicious! 

The next morning we opted to eat our Domino's pizza for breakfast because the continental breakfast didn't look to good. Then after getting ready, we decided to go ahead and just finish it off for lunch as well rather than paying for something else and having to take the pizza with us. We love Domino's, but after three meals we were looking forward to having something else for dinner! Our day was totally unplanned, and it couldn't have turned out to be any better.

Miniature golf has always been something Brogan and I enjoy doing together, so we first found somewhere that we could play.  For the first time I ever, I even won the game!! I was pretty excited because I beat Brogan pretty good and it was fair and square (and that never happens!) Then as we were driving around to find our next adventure, we spotted some sort of discovery museum so we thought we'd stop in and check it out. Turns out it cost just enough money to get in to change Brogan and I's mind, but we found something else to do instead. We saw all these people on paddle boats, so we walked around and found where we could get one. 

Brogan insisted that we get the duck one. Everyone else had the blue ones you can see in the background. 

It turned out the zoo wasn't far from where we were, so we walked there and spent some time with the animals. We went into a butterfly exhibit, and all Brogan wanted was for a butterfly to land on him, and he lucked out. We also fed the goats and enjoyed watching the monkeys.

We finished off the night with dinner at Red Robin then stopped in to wish my grandma Happy Birthday. It was so nice to get away just the two of us, we haven't had many opportunities like that this summer. Thanks Brogan for the fun weekend!! This past year has been the best, and I am looking forward to many more like it! I love you!!

Supercross

My parents got tickets to go to Supercross in Salt Lake and invited us to go. It wasn't a real exciting race because Villapodo was already so far ahead in the points race because so many racers had been injured throughout the season, so everyone knew he was going to win. We still managed to have a good time though!

We were all able to go back into the pits, so the boys decided to race the Traxxas cars.

Happenings

There is nothing too new or exciting going on. Both of us are still busy with school trying to finish up our papers and projects before the end of the semester. We've still been trying to decide exactly what we are going to do this summer, and it has been a STRUGGLE! I have to stay in Utah to get my residency, but Brogan needs to be in Idaho to farm. Neither of us is very excited about having to be separated most of the summer, so we are still trying to find a way around that. In the meantime, we are just trying to enjoy the rest of this month that we do get to be together. In between all my school work, I've really enjoyed completing some Pinterest projects. Here are a couple of the latest crafts.

I've really started enjoying doing things like this, and hopefully if Brogan and I are separated this summer, I will be able to find more of these kinds of things to do to keep me busy.

Spring Break

We didn't do anything too exciting for spring break, but we had a good time. We left Friday night for Island Park to snowmobile for a couple days with my family. We left a few hours earlier than my family so we were able to stop and hang out with Bow, Danni, Zach, and Kristy. We played a few games and watched a movie so that was fun. We didn't get to Island Park until about two in the morning so we unloaded all our stuff and headed to bed. The snow was pretty crusty, so it wasn't the best snowmobiling ever, but it was still fun.

We spent the next couple days hanging out with my family. Brogan had to be working, so I just kinda chilled and caught up on some projects. Wednesday I went to Twin with my mom for a girls day just to get out and have some fun. Then that night we headed to Mark and Verla's and stayed there. Thursday I went to Kimberly to watch Mariah and Jackson compete in a track meet. They both did really well, and it was fun to be able to watch them. I left the meet a little early to make it back to meet Brogan and his parents at the movie. 

Friday the boys went snowmobiling so Verla, Kelsi, Leslie, and I took the kids to eat and did a little grocery shopping. Once the guys came back the whole family went on a date (without the children). We played foosball, pool, and went bowling. The whole thing was a tournament, and it was a lot of fun. Brogan had been bragging that we were the most athletic couple just trying to be competitive and of course our team lost, so he probably got what he deserved. It was fun to be able to spend time with all the adults without kids running around though. Saturday Mark and Verla headed to Boise for a single's ward activity, so Brog and I just kinda hung out all day then went in to Brant's that night to watch the supercross races. Sunday Mark made an executive decision and cancelled church because the power was out. Brogan and I still went to another sacrament meeting because it was my cousin Parker's farewell. He did a good job, and we could tell that he was excited and ready to go. We came back ate Sunday dinner, watched the Amazing Race, then headed for home. 

It was a really fun week, but I was also glad to be back home. This week we have just been busy catching back up on school work and getting back to real life. We are both getting pretty excited for the semester to be over and for summer to get here.

Home Sweet Home

 Brogan and I have been looking for apartments because we are looking to move out of Aggie Village for the summer. So I decided I would post some pictures of our apartment because it will be fun to look back at the first little place we lived (besides the trailer). We figured it would be kinda fun to look back and laugh at our washer in the bathroom and the sliding cupboards that seem like every single one is always open because they are a pain. (I closed them for the picture). We will not really miss the cinder block walls and being able to hear the opera singer living above us, but we are going to miss some of our neighbors. Especially Travis and Blair. It seems like we do something with them every day. We are trying to convince them to move with us, but if they don't we sure hope we continue hanging out as often as we do now. Thursday night Blair invited me to a craft and recipe night she does with some friends at work. It was a lot of fun, and I am excited to keep going every month. We made some cute burlap wreaths, and I am pretty proud of myself, so I couldn't help posting a picture of it.

President's Day Weekend

Once again it has been a little while, and one day I will get better at keeping this up. This last weekend was a long one because Monday was President's Day so we had no school. Brogan and I were bound and determined to find somewhere to go and something to do. It turned out to be a pretty good weekend. Friday we drove down to Pocatello to visit our new little nephew Treker Darrington. He is so cute, and we are so excited to have another little nephew around. Saturday we did a little apartment hunting because we are looking for somewhere to live this next summer, and that night we went to the Utah State Basketball game. 

Sunday we slept in a bit then got things ready to go. We went to church with Shane and Aspen then headed out for Salt Lake. We shared a hotel room, and it was quite the hotel we stayed in. It looked like someone had already broken in through the window at one point, which made us all laugh and caused Aspen to dead bolt the door. We went down to sit in the hot tub, and there were no towels. Brogan and Shane went to get some, and they came back with what looked like two little hand towels because that was all they had. We spent the rest of the evening playing cards.

Monday we went down and ate breakfast then headed out shopping. We shopped all day long until I didn't think I could take anymore. Finally, Zach, Kristy, Bow and Danni  (Brogan's roommates from BYU-I and their wives) showed up. Our neighbors Travis and Blair also came to meet us, and we ate at the California Pizza Kitchen. Then we were off to the big event of the evening. The Utah Jazz game. We got tickets for like five dollars and sat clear at the top, but it was still really fun. It was fun to get to see everyone and to just get away for a day.

Chile & Jamaica

The day after Christmas, Mark, Verla, Brogan, and I headed off to Chile to go visit Brogan's mission. It was a really fun experience. We visited three of Brogan's areas Copiapo, Antofagasta, and Iquique. The people were all so nice. Everywhere you went they would bring you a drink whether you wanted one or not, and they were some of the most generous people I have ever met. Brogan was in heaven the entire trip. He loved being able to be back in the atmosphere, eating the food, and especially visiting the people. I enjoyed Chile, but I could never live there. I struggled with the food at times, and I got tired of not being able to understand anything. I was so excited when I was able to come back and hear English again. Throughout the trip we were on nine different flights, and one all night bus ride, so we were pretty exhausted. It was a great experience though, and I am glad Brogan was able to go back. 

As we were planning the trip, Mark and Verla decided to make it a little more of a vacation for the rest of us as well. So after going to Chile, we were able to spend four days in Jamaica. The resort we stayed in was really nice, and we all had a lot of fun. It was windy the entire time we were there, so there was only one day where we were really able to enjoy most of the water sports, but it was still great to just enjoy the sunshine. Mark and Brogan were able to go scuba diving one day, so Verla and I went and pampered ourselves a little with a massage and facial. The day we had to leave was the nicest day we were there. The wind had quit blowing, so were all a little bummed to have to leave, but we were also all ready to come home again. It was a fun trip with lots of good laughs!

Time to Catch Up...

I've really been slacking lately! We were gone all Christmas Break, and it's just been busy since then. Over Christmas we were able to go to the cabin in Island Park with my family for a few days. There was no snow, so we were only able to go on one little short ride, and there wasn't much we could do. We all had to be careful not to hit something. So most of our time was spent inside the cabin playing games and watching movies, and it still turned out to be a lot of fun!

We were able to watch the Boise State game in order to celebrate Verla's birthday with everyone when we got back. After the game, we headed over to visit Brad who'd just come home from his mission. Everyone is so glad to have him back! Christmas Eve was also spent at Mark and Verla's. It was a lot of fun. The whole family was able to be there and Grandma and Grandpa Wrigley were able to join us as well. We ate a wonderful dinner then all got in a circle to play a game. We played the game where as someone reads a story, you pass presents left and right. Between all the kids and Grandpa Wrigley it was quite the experience. The kids then all got dressed up in little nativity outfits while Mark read the Christmas story. They all looked so cute! It was so fun to watch all of them open presents and participate in all the scavenger hunts!

Christmas Day was spent with my family. Bridger came in early to wake Brogan and I up, and we all headed upstairs to wake my parents up. My siblings were all able to see what Santa brought then we had breakfast and got ready for church. The Christmas program was really good, but my brothers were pretty antsy to get home and finish opening up presents. After every present Bridger would open, he would jump up and down and say "Yes! This is exactly what I wanted!" We all couldn't help but laugh at him. The rest of the day we played games, hung out, and enjoyed each other's company. It was a great Christmas!

We're Gonna Miss This...

The semester is finally over, and Brogan and I cannot even describe how happy we are. We were so exicted to be done with finals and have a break, but at the same time we are also going to miss the easygoing semester we had. Next semester our schedules are so different. When I am home he is gone to class, and when I'm at class he is home. We are also going to be looking for jobs. It will still be great, but I know we are going to miss all the free time we had to be with each other and just goof off. We had lots of time on our hands to sit and talk about anything, play Tetris, Settlers of Catan, Uno, Battleship, and any other game we could come up with that could be played with just two. We finished the Prison Break seasons and always enjoyed watching Amazing Race and Surviror together. We were almost always home to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. Next semester is going to be a little more busy, but we are looking forward to it.

Now we are both exited to spend our Christmas break in Island Park with my family and then off to Chile and Jamaica right after Christmas. We are looking forward to spending our first Christmas together, and we cannot wait for all that life has yet to bring. We laugh about how excited we will be to be done with school, to get out of our little tiny apartment, and move home for good, but I know we will also miss the good times we have had and are yet to have in Logan. We are enjoying every minute!

MMA Fighting...

Rulon Gardner hosted an MMA Fight here in Logan. I saw it on a flyer, and I knew Brogan would love it so we decided to go. It was insane how many people showed up to watch. They weren't expecting near as many to come, so it started a little late because they were trying to get everyone in that they could. They still couldn't get everyone in, and we could see some people standing outside watching it through the windows. It was way loud in there, but it was fun. We had some funny ladies sitting next to us that had a friend fighting, and they would give us all sorts of information on each fighter. We were lucky to be sitting by them. 

The fights were all just ok. Nothing too big happened, and if it started to get too serious the ref would stop it, which was lame. The best fight was the one between two girls. They were ready to fight. The ref had his back turned and they were already about to go at it before he had even started their match. Even he almost couldn't help but laugh. One of the girls said she has 7 kids, and she beat up a Utah State rugby player. It was pretty funny and entertaining to watch.

I wouldn't say it was my favorite thing we have been to, and it's not something either of us are really going to get into and follow, but it was fun. We were both glad to get the experience of going.

Our First Christmas Tree...

Yesterday Brog and I went to get some groceries, and we also got stuff for our Christmas tree. The top set of lights were out, so we had to replace those, and that was quite the job. I never knew twisting lights around could take so long. I'm lucky my husband loves me, and he took over after I had struggled with it for awhile. The tree looks a lot better than it did when we started out. I never thought I'd have a blue Christmas tree, but it turned out better than I imagined, and I really like it! (I'm also quite proud of the bow I made...I'm getting more crafty all the time :) ha at least I like to think so) Brog and I both think it turned out pretty good for our first Christmas tree!

Catching Up....

I have been meaning to post all this for awhile now, but life has just been busy. I've finally got homework done and a spare minute, so I'm going to do a little catching up.

11/24/11... Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a great day. Brog went to play basketball that morning with some friends, and I got up to help my mom prepare dinner. It was good to be able to spend some time with her, and I've decided I'd better start learning how to make some of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes. We ate with my family, and dinner was delicious. We stayed long enough to do the dishes and chat for a bit, then we headed over to spend time with the Wrigley bunch. We chatted there for awhile, but it wasn't long before the boys were getting everything ready to shoot shotguns. They are all pretty good, and it was fun to watch them. Once they ran out of clay pigeons, we all went inside, and the cousins played a game of Wacky 6. It got pretty competitive, but we had a good time. We stayed and chatted awhile longer then people started heading home.

I had been trying to think of some Christmas gift ideas for Brogan, and my mom had suggested a Wii. I wasn't sure whether he would really go for that or not, so I decided to run it past him. He wasn't thrilled with the idea, but somehow we got talking about well what about an Xbox 360 Kinect? Jaxon had one down in his room, so we decided to try it out. We had a lot of fun and decided it was something we could maybe get each other for Christmas. WalMart was having some great sale, so we decided we'd make our way over there to try to get one. We had just left when Aunt Edith called and said they had already handed out coupons for the first 30 people there to get them, so we turned around and went home. This began another entire shopping adventure, but before I get into that I want to mention just a few things I'm grateful for this year.

1. I am grateful for the Gospel. (Where would we be without it?)

2. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband. He is my best friend, and I am so lucky I get to spend all eternity with him.

3. I am grateful for my family. They really are the greatest!

4. I am grateful for good in laws. One of the hardest things about getting married is splitting up time between the two families, but it sure does make it easier when you've got a great family on both sides!

5. I am grateful for the opportunity to get an education. Even though right now I feel like I'm hating it and ready to be done, I know a degree is something I will be thankful to have.

I could go on more, but I've got lots more to catch up on, so I will leave it at that. Happy Thanksgiving!

11/25/11....Black Friday!
Thursday night around 11:00 my parents, Mariah, Keegan, and I all headed to Twin to begin our all night Black Friday shopping. We all talked and laughed the whole way there, and it was so fun. Brogan and Jackson stayed home and decided they would come meet us the next morning for breakfast. We went to Macy's just to look around, and the place was a zoo! You couldn't even get around in there, so that got old quick and we left and headed to Shopko. We bought a few games there and our Christmas pajamas, but nothin too special. We mainly went because I was after the Xbox Kinect. Shopko's checkout line was a joke. We stood there for over an hour, but we kept good attitudes and tried to enjoy ourselves. 

Once we got out finally got out of there, Mariah decided she had had enough, so she crawled in the backseat and went to sleep. Keegan was wide awake and chipper the whole time. He was so funny! My parents dropped me off at Sears, so I could stand in line in hopes of being able to get the Xbox, and they went to grab a bite to eat. The girls behind me had both married guys from Malta, and the girl that came behind them was from Alamo, so I passed the time talking to them. Once my parents came back, Keegan came and stood in line with me for awhile. It was freezing, but we had a good time. (I'll post our picture later!) As soon as the doors opened, Keegan and I started running towards the electronics. I had no idea where they were, so I asked the first employee I saw. He said he would go check, and he came back and told me it was an online item only, but they could order it for me. So I stood in another line waiting to order one. I finally got to the front, and they told me they were totally sold out. I was frustrated, but still hopeful because Radio Shack had the same deal going, and they didn't open until 5:30 a.m. (it was a little before 4:00 at this point)


We ran to Radio Shack, and their doors were already open. They said because they were a mall store, they could open the same time as the mall. Well they were all out of the Xbox's as well, but once again they told me they could order it online. So once again I stood in line, and they guy at the register was taking forever! I finally got to the front of the line, and he took forever on the computer, and then finally told me they were completely out of stock once again, and there was no way to get it. I was so tired and frustrated at this point, and it made me so mad! We decided after that to just head home. I texted Brogan and told him and Jackson not to worry about coming, and the ride home was a lot more quiet than the ride there. We have decided we are never going Black Friday shopping again! All of us except Keegan that is. At least he still seemed to have a good time! 

It seems like Friday should have been over by the time I wrote all of that, but we made it home around 6:00 a.m. and I slept in until almost noon. Brogan had gone out to work, so once I was ready he came to pick me up, and I went with all the girls to Breaking Dawn. I haven't been a big fan of the Twilight movies so far, but it wasn't bad. Later that night we all went to Grandma and Grandpa Wrigley's to play Pinochle. I'm not a big fan of the game, so I stayed and chatted with some of the others instead, but Brog went out to learn. 

11/26/11...Birth Control
Saturday Brant and Leslie left for the Boise State game, and Ryn & Kerri had left the day before, so we had all of their children. Mark and Verla had to go to the temple, so Brog and I were left with all the kids. It was a lot of work, but it was also a lot of fun. They are all cute kids, and we had so much fun playing with them and listening to all their stories. (I think Brog loves having an excuse to play football on the Nintendo!) Once Mark and Verla came home, Brog and I both passed out on the couch. We were pooped! We've both decided it will be ok to keep waiting awhile before we decide to have kids, but it was such a fun day. We love all our nieces and nephews, we missed Kree and wished we could have added him to the bunch! 

That night Brogan's roommate from BYU-I, Zach Pugmire and his wife Kristy came over for dinner and some games. We ate hamburgers and introduced them to one of our favorite games Settlers of Catan. We then played Catch a Phrase. It was so fun to see them, and we wish we could get together with them more often!

11/27/11....Tangled
Sunday was another good day, but the best part was the Darrington fireside. It was the first one I had been to, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I thought it was so good. It was fun to see everyone and catch up a bit. It seems like when Brog and I come home, we have just enough time to be with our families, and we don't usually make it to see anyone else. 

The program was based on the storyline of the movie Tangled. Holly told the story and compared the king to our Heavenly Father. She talked about how we are all His lost children, and how He will be so happy when we return to Him just as the king on Tangled was. All the little girls then sang the song I See the Light from the moive. Ellie was dressed as Rapunzel, and it was so cute. After the lesson, we all got to go out and light floating lanterns. It looked so cool and so pretty as we let them all go. I wish I had taken picture to share. The kids loved it, and it was such a fun sight to see.

 That night Brog and I made our trip back to Logan. Once we got home, I had some homework to do, but we decided we'd take a quick look to see if there were going to be any good deals on an Xbox for Cyber Monday...well it took about two minutes. The first site we clicked on had them for the exact same deal that had been advertised on Black Friday, and we didn't even have to wait until midnight or anything. So we ordered it. I couldn't believe how easy it was, especially after spending all night in the freezing cold trying to get one of those darn things!
 

Busy Weekend...

After a busy week at school, Brog and I were ready to head home for the weekend. We left as soon as we could on Friday and went to Mark and Verla's. They had just come home from a trip to Israel, and it was fun to hear about it. That night we went to Drew Matsen's baptism. We were all excited for him, and it was a special night for him. You could really feel the Spirit there, and we are all proud of him for making such a good choice. We then came home and relaxed in the hot tub. It was a fun time to catch up with family!

Saturday we took advantage and slept in a bit, which was nice. After breakfast Mark, Brant, and Brogan went to pick up a snowmobile from Tyson. They were so excited and couldn't wait any longer. Verla and I stayed home to watch kids and get a few other things done. I was putting a movie on for Tregan and Abree (my nephew and niece) and Tregan said, "Well Brittni, you and Brogan are going to start having kids soon huh?" To which I laughed and said "No, not soon!" Tregan came back at me with "Well it's about that time!" I couldn't help but laugh at getting a lecture from my almost five year old nephew! 

We later went to lunch with everyone for Grandpa Wrigley's birthday. It was fun to spend time with them and all the kids. Later that night it was my Grandma and Grandpa Woodhouse's 50th Anniversary, so we spent the evening at their open house. It was fun to visit with everyone that came, and my Grandparents were pleased and excited with how it turned out.

It was a fun weekend, and we are excited to head back for Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday Brog!

Brogan turned the big 23 on November 8th. We both skipped our first classes so we could sleep in a bit then eat a good breakfast together. While breakfast was cooking, Brogan opened his presents. He is just like a little kid and had been pestering me all week to give him hints about what they were! 

His parents had come down the Thursday before to take us to dinner before he left, and they got him some nice Klim snowpants, which he was extremely excited about. My parents also came on Saturday to bring down the piano, and they gave him a Boise State Jersey, so he was pretty excited about that as well. He had already guessed one of the gifts he was getting from me, and he totally got me off guard, so I wasn't even able to come up with a good lie, and I was so mad that he had spoiled the surprise! I gave him the Settlers of Catan game, some sunglasses, and a new coat.

We couldn't skip our afternoon classes, so we went then after class we went over to Renegade sports and went miniature golfing. Miniature golfing has become an activity Brog and I enjoy doing together, and we seem to go whenever we get the chance. It was a little cold, but we still had fun. Then we came home and had finger steaks for dinner, and ate some birthday cake. We didn't have matches, so we just used our gas stove to light the candles.

It was a fun day, and I enjoyed being able to spend it with him. Happy Birthday Brog! I love you!

Happy Halloween...

(This post is a little late, but I'm working at catching it up since I just got started.) Brog and I didn't do a whole lot for Halloween, but we had fun. Earlier that week we went to the pumpkin walk. We went to it last year, and it was fun to see all the different things they came up with, and we enjoyed it again this year!

We loved the Angry Birds. It was pretty good.

Halloween night we watched Prison Break and enjoyed having cute little trick-or-treaters coming to our door.
